Much rather have Smithies, Bidwell, Freeman, Hall and Smyth.

Championship spending - we're top of the league! on 13:18 - Jun 7 with 8742 views | rsonist | You'd like to think the club would have reached the same conclusions and implemented them as well on their own without it having to be enforced by FFP... but I doubt it. At the end of the day the financial distortion between the divisions is so absurdly gigantic it makes it almost impossible not to be irresponsible if given the means and opportunity. More credit to Hoos' Burnley staying so disciplined through promotions and relegations... I suppose hypothetically if we'd learned our lessons AND been able to spend money we'd look something like Bristol City at the moment...? | ![](/images/avatars/6250.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Absolutely. Under Redkrapp, we were turning into the place where old Spurs players go to die. Let's try very hard to remember the positive message of this thread when someone starts firing off "everything about Rangers is completely awful" posts on the ninth day of the season.

Yes, but Hoilett (as far as I'm aware) was not playing as a striker for Cardiff, so presumably we could have had goals from both him and Smith/Sylla. | ![](/images/avatars/11425.gif) |

Championship spending - we're top of the league! on 11:27 - Jun 8 with 7495 views | qprd | I hate to be that guy, but this information is clearly wrong. Can someone share the source this is from? Newcastle sold sissokho (30m), wijnaldum (25m) and Townsend (12.5m) for 67.5m combined. For them to have a loss of 55m would mean they spent a minimum of abt120m on transfer fees and wages, and it would also exclude their parachute payment revenues which were pretty substantial More obviously, QPR already published their Audited accounts for 2016-2017.

I’m not sure if it’s as simple as this because of sell on clauses. PSV apparently took a big chunk of the Liverpool fee for Wijnaldum. This was on top of what Newcastle had already paid, so the profit was quite small. Knowing Spurs, they would have had a sell on clause too when Townsend went to Newcastle. Then there are agents’ fees for all those expensive purchases. They are likely to have offered big wages to attract people like Mitrovic, Shelvey, Gayle etc to the championship are likely to be eye-watering. Then there are the win bonuses and promotion bonuses for that season for the players and for Rafa, who is also unlikely to be cheap -he’s rumoured to be on £4million salary, so goodness knows what his promotion bonus is likely to be. I’m not sure if that gets near these figures but it may bring it closer. | ![](/images/avatars/16746.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The article was from the Daily Wail, but they're only reporting Deloitte's figures. I wonder if QPR's figures relate to the financial year (April to March maybe?) and Deloitte is reporting figures for the season (August to July)? | ![](/images/avatars/14432.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Let me play this back to you... you are saying Deloitte, one of the worlds leading accountancy firms, are wrong with their figures. And yet you must be right with your back of the fag packet guestimations. The information is correct, you are the one that is wrong. Fact, not opinion. Either understand finances, and understand FFP, or simply don’t comment so outlandishly on a topic you so clearly know so very little about! ! There is a saying “Engage brain before opening mouth”.... [Post edited 9 Jun 2018 18:50]
